Re: Command line behavior has changed

Hi Wesley,

The command "cmd /k ipconfig /all" does work. However still don't
understand what occured to cause this change of behavior.

Any ideas. I am supposed to be clean of any spyware according to
Defender, SpyBot and Ad-Aware.

Thanks,

I just double checked and

ipconfig /all

doesn't work for me either. Sorry about that.

Does

cmd /k ipconfig /all

work for you?

It does for me.

BTW the /k switch carries out the command after it and leaves the cmd window
open.

Unfortunately, in my case, even a command which includes switches will
cause the same problem of premature DOS window closing.

Any other ideas?

Thanks,

ipconfig with no switches executed from the Run command will do just as
you described, flash a command prompt and close.

Try using switches.

Like

ipconfig /all

for example.

or

cmd /k ipconfig /all

I have Windows XP SP2 Home with all the updates.

I used to be able to invoke the "Run" command line from the Start menu
and, for example, type commands such as "ipconfig". The computer would
then open a simili DOS window and display the IP configuration of my
computer.

Now, when I type a command such as "ipconfig" the DOS window opens, the
data starts to display but the window quikcly closes.

If I type only "cmd", the DOS window opens and remain opened. I can
then type the "ipconfig" command at the DOS prompt and everything
displays as expected.

What has caused this change??

I am puzzled and I would like to resolve.

Thank you,
